After another great year at the Wayne Holmes Soap Box Derby, we would like to thank everyone who made this possible.

First and foremost, we would like to thank our personal sponsors, Steiner Lumber, Varnes Trucking and Curly's Body Shop, and a special thank you of course to Robert Lucci for your dedication and invaluable experience you bring to this derby every year.

We also would like to thank all the trustees and board on the derby committee for making this such a success. Your countless hours of dedication and commitment do not go unnoticed. To the volunteers and businesses that donate their time and resources year after year to make this day happen, there are just too many to list but we thank you.

To all the parents who were right along with their kiddos, this is what it's all about and they will not forget this. To the racers who showed such amazing sportsmanship and dedication, everyone is so proud of all of you. You are all winners.

We would also like to encourage everyone to look at all the names on those cars and know that those local businesses are the ones that are supporting our kids and to please support them right back.

We also want to invite parents to check out the derby and bring your kids and sign them up to race next year. It is something the whole family will love.
